- Thread-topic: specific loudness calculation: ambiguity of excitation
Dear list,
when calculating the specific loudness the way Zwicker/Fastl recommended and feeding in white noise I don't see any influence of the threshold in quiet, even with the excitation by internal noise floors (which represents basically the threshold in quiet) being part of the formula. When I look at the formula I just see minor influence of this 'internal noise floor'. Mainly when the (real) excitation comes in the order of magnitude of the 'internal noise floor'.
Is there a preprocessing of the input data intended -- like subtracting the threshold in quiet from the input data -- that is meant to represent the head related transfer functions (HRTF)?
If not: at which point the introduction of the HRTF is reasonable?
regards,
Mark Rossi
